I will tell you after we go back,” the black-haired man replied in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hubert nodded. As he turned back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca affectionately wrapped her arm around Fang Hao’s arm and introduced, “This is Mr. Hubert, the representative of the ‘Nasir City’ council from the Hundred Cities Federation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nice to meet you, Mr. Hubert.” Fang Hao said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A transmigrator?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Rebecca’s introduction, Hubert and his entourage all turned their attention to Fang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had speculated about many people who could be the new City Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nobles in the city, or wealthy merchants who could provide large sums of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Rebecca’s maturity and beauty, it wasn’t difficult at all for her to find a powerful husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they never could have guessed that the person who appeared before them was a young transmigrator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how affectionately Rebecca was hanging on the young man, jealousy surged in everyone’s hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the news of Aubrey’s death had been announced earlier,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably, men from all cities would have rushed to Lyss City to pursue Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, everyone had arrived, and the servants began to serve the exquisite food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The table, three meters long, was laden with sumptuous dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hubert cut a piece of beef with his knife and fork while saying softly, “City Lord Fang Hao is really young. You’re a transmigrator, aren’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao didn’t hide anything and played along, “Yes, that’s what they call us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the passage of time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As more transmigrators came into frequent contact with the indigenous people, this was no longer a secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps ordinary residents didn’t know much about it, but those in power had already learned of the existence of transmigrators through various channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among those who accompanied Hubert to the banquet was also a transmigrator; Fang Hao saw him when he entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man had his head down the entire time, eating silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“City Lord Fang Hao, how did you meet Mrs. Rebecca?” Hubert continued to probe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao replied, “I have a mercenary group, and we met through some tasks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing about the mercenaries, contempt was evident in the eyes of Hubert and his companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transmigrators indeed had their own advantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the profession of a mercenary, notorious for bloodshed, was considered far more lowly than bodyguards and guards in the eyes of the nobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mercenary within the city is a soldier, outside the city is a bandit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mercenaries have always had a bad reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hubert looked at Rebecca again, his gaze returning to Fang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued to ask, “City Lord Fang Hao, in another month, the Federal Conference will take place. The upper house has proposed a unified command to mobilize the armies of all cities. What’s the position of Lyss City on this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After asking, Hubert fell silent, smiling as he waited for Fang Hao’s reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao turned to look at Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter quietly shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the draft resolution of the upper house, Fang Hao had no idea, having been City Lord for just a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We, Rebecca and I, are discussing this issue. Once we’ve made a decision, we’ll announce our position at this year’s conference,” said Fang Hao, taking a bite of the steak he had just cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agreement between Fang Hao and Rebecca was that she would handle affairs in Lyss City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the decisions didn’t contradict their territory’s development plans, he wouldn’t intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In case of discrepancies, the two would discuss it privately and arrive at a more prudent decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Federal Conference, Fang Hao wasn’t well-acquainted with such matters. Particularly, power struggles among the nobility were beyond his understanding and enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Rebecca would handle conference affairs, and he would provide necessary support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hubert continued to ask several more questions afterwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao’s answers were rather nonchalant, practically echoing the same things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation died off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hubert, unable to find more topics to discuss with Fang Hao, started talking with Rebecca again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao, now left alone, quietly enjoyed his meal,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eagerly waiting for the banquet to end so he could go back and rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Groot, seated beside Hubert, picked up his wine glass and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand was adorned with gemstone rings that dazzled the eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Groot Marshal was from a well-known family in the Federation and was responsible for the family’s business operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Hubert had long been friends, and they came to Lyss City together this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his first visit to Lyss City, and he was amazed by Rebecca’s beauty when he saw her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that this beautiful woman had just lost her husband, he felt a sense of destiny in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, just a month ago, his wife had also passed away from illness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wealth allowed him to have any woman he wanted, but none could compare to Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been silent because he was waiting to see what kind of background and strength Rebecca’s new husband had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was certain. This boy, who knew nothing and was still immature, was just a transmigrator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to this transmigrator, he could provide Rebecca with more help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Groot, holding his wine glass, walked over to Rebecca with a smile and said softly, “Mrs. Rebecca, it’s an honor to meet you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Marshal family wielded considerable influence in the Federation.\u003C\u002Fp>",953,"2026-05-30T09:05:50.940Z","2026-06-01T04:30:50.407Z",1,"novelbin.me","1fb268152cc263f84967520ad43bf446bf1e77e966883dd55d70e41ca14e6a99","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-564","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-562",1483,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-cover.jpg"]
